Halal food in Southwestern Louisiana?

Salaam wa alikum everyone - So we are making a long awaited trip to the USA after 4 years here in Tunisia. We will be visiting my Dad in DeQuincy, LA and I am wondering if anyone knows of any halal stores/restaurants near there? I have Googled this and have found a few in Lake Charles (about 30 minutes away) but don't trust how updated these websites are not to mention that one place was halal but served alcohol! If anyone can be of help, I would appreciate it!

Thanks!

Good luck with that! Ha ha! Cajun food is full of pork and alcohol unfortunately.

Look on zabihah.com and see what they recommend. That's usually the best source to find halal restaurants around the US. We've been using it for years. Here is their suggestion page for southwestern Louisiana:http://www.zabihah.com/c/Southwest-Louisiana+274

I'm not from that area, but I'm close enough and where I live there are no halal restaurants. As for stores to buy halal meat, we have to get it at the local mosque. You might want to find one near there and ask around. Insha'Allah it won't be difficult to find halal food :)
